What is Yammbot and how does it work?

The Yammbot app and the bot.yammbo.com panel are in Spanish. Button names are shown exactly as they appear, with an English translation in brackets.

Yammbot is an Android app that reads the messages you get on WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram and replies for you, with rules you write yourself. It’s not a cloud service: it lives on your phone.

How it works

  1. A message from a customer arrives on a messaging app you’ve enabled.
  2. Yammbot looks for the rule of yours that matches that message.
  3. It replies from the notification itself, without opening the chat.

Yammbot uses the Reply button that comes with every message notification (the same one you’d use to answer quickly without opening the app). That’s why it doesn’t need the accessibility permission or control your screen: if a notification arrives without that button, Yammbot can’t reply to it.

Which channels it replies on

  • WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business.
  • Messenger.
  • Telegram.

It doesn’t use the official WhatsApp Business API and it doesn’t change your number: it replies from your own WhatsApp, as if you typed it yourself. Instagram is coming soon — not available yet.

What your phone needs

  • Android 8.0 or later.
  • Notification access, to read and reply to messages.
  • Unrestricted battery, so Android doesn’t close the app in the background.
  • An internet connection.

These are the same points the Not replying assistant checks when something fails.

Privacy: what happens to your messages

  • Yammbot processes messages on your own phone. It doesn’t upload them to our servers.
  • A message only leaves your phone if you configure a webhook, an AI assistant or the connection with Yammbo POS yourself — and then only to that service.
  • The only thing that reaches our server is aggregated daily counts (messages received, replies sent, etc.), never the content. You see it in Results and you can turn the upload off in Settings.
What it still doesn't do

Yammbot doesn’t change your WhatsApp number, doesn’t use the official WhatsApp Business API, doesn’t reply on Instagram yet (coming soon), and can’t answer a notification that arrives without a “Reply” button — for example, if you have the chat open on screen.
